	Description Edit \| History

Manoeuvre is a fast-playing game of battlefield command, set in the early 19th century. Multiple geomorphic game maps provide the chessboard-sized battlefields over which eight different armies of the period (France, Britain, Russia, Spain, Austria, Turkey, Prussia, and the US) clash. Each country has 8 units and a deck of cards specific to the country. move and fight in one-on-one battles. As the commanding General of a nation's army, you have at your command units and a 60-card national deck which represents your army's specific troops and unique strengths. Your job is to utilize those assets and manoeuvre your forces to achieve battlefield supremacy.

New Period-looking Map Tiles

New artwork for the map tiles, using period map sources to look more "authentic". These are set up with 2 tiles per page, and each page is 11" high. This means most printers will have to reduce the image a little bit to fit it on 8 1/2 x 11 paper. This should be a negligible decrease in size, but they will be smaller than the standard map tiles.

Manoeuvre card breakdown - Refinement of HQ tab

I have further broken down the numbers in the HQ tab on dknemeyer's great piece of work here. This will allow for numerically assessing each country's offensive, defensive and logistic capabilities, and the specific capabilities in each deck. Specifically I've: 1. collated each country's HQ cards into column numbers 2. removed the extra rows (eg. remove all but 1 'Ambush' row per country) 3. Added categories for all the HQ cards (eg. 'offense', etc.) 4. Given numbers for categories to easily sort them (eg. '1.leader', '2.offense', etc.) Hope this adds to dknemeyer's work!
